So here is my question. I am planning on buying 2 of these amps to power 2 12's but will it sound as loud as if it was briged?

Yes because this is a one channel monoblock amp the one channel works just like a 2 channel bridged. Now this amp is rated at 14.4 volts to push 650 watts continous (rms) at a 2 ohm load and at a 4 ohm load it will push 400 watts continous. So make sure you get the right ohm subs. If you want to push the full 650 watts make sure your sub is 4 ohm single voicecoil or if its a dual voicecoil you can use 2-8 ohm subs just make sure the subs if dual voicecoil are wired to a 4 ohm load before you connect the sub to amp, when you connect to the amp it will read 2 ohm so you will get the full 650 watts.

I love this amp so far. It's small but very powerful. The positive reviews say it all and was the main reason I got it. I'm pushing 2 10" kicker comps at 2 ohm. You should have plenty enough power.

Well didn't look up specs but if your running 2 subs I wouldn't overrun the subs rms too much. I wouldn't put more than 1200 watts on them. Over powering even though they are underrated certain songs like jeezy will burn your subs. I am running 2 jlaudio jx1000/1 awesome amp. I blew my obsidian 18 with that amp. So they are 900 watts at 12v I'm running them at 32 hertz. Loudest system I have had. I would run 1 Rockford to two if that is 1250. I also run two batteries for the two amps. I think that is making all the difference running rf 3sixty.2 whole car is dymatted. Do 4 sealed. With the two amps. These subs sound better sealed. 4 sealed on 5000 watts will sound better than 2 ported on 5000. I do prefer my 32 hertz box but you can really see what they can do sealed. Better sq. Although the sq is flawless anyway. Best subs ever man for the money. Will eat an idmax

Ive had 2 of these for a year and half they are badass. I personally use a 40 amp breaker to run them. Pullin roughly 600 watts. I used 30 amp fueses and would always blow them when the bass hit low. P.S this is for 2 subs at 2 ohms make sure your amp will handle this and dont try to put 600 watt to one sub. You will blow one in a heart beat. Been there done that. Haha.

they will blow them. I had 2 15 in kicker l7's and had 2 of these amps strapped together and now there blown to hell. these amps are two powerful for kickers. u will end up buying new subs like I have to now

You need at smaller amp, this is to much power for you single sub, I got this amp with two vm audio 12 ',3000 watts each one, this amp got enough power to hit very hard my subs, imagine your single sub, will blow out

I had this amp in a front end of a Harley driving 2 speakers bridged. (bridged means 2 channel, twice the power) It would not push the 2 speakers I had to what I like. I bought the Rockford Fosgate PBR300x4 (mainly for size) and this amp does the trick. Your better off having the power and toneing it down than pushing it and having it clip/distort.. For the $40-$50 dollars more, you cant go wrong!

Im pushing 2 12s and I've never had a problem with it getting hot. Good amp for the money

I have it running 2 mtx 10" subs! Very pleased with it! I believe they are 500 watt 4 ohm maybe??? Don't totally understand how all that works! I just know it pushes them very well! Hope that helps!!!

I have wired this amp in every configuration. I have never been disappointed. 2ohms is where i decided to run it and keep it that way.hope this helps.

I had two 11l7 12" running on two 1500w @1ohm amps in a ban pass box. I got around 153db... 24ft.cub. they lasted 9 months that is running the max. I upgraded to the 15"s... You should be good....Now I am running 75% power same style box. My amps don't get warm driving them for hours!!!

I would keep at 2ohm. I have 2 12's running at 2ohm. This amp lies about the power it has.

i would not get this amp i blew mine within 5 months of having it along with 2 12s if i was you i would get a lanzar distinct half ohm monoblock amp it is used for comp and it is really reliable for the price

an 800 watt amp might be a little overkill to drive two of these. I run two of mine on a 400watt pyle marine amp and I can max them out. I just used a regular 16 gauge speaker wire. They sound great!

Im running 2 p2 12in with this amp. Its ok... i recommend you run at least a 1200 watt amp with those p3s... i have the 1200 watt on 2 p2s in my yukon.... sounds real good!!!

Hey Martha, I love the sound of the project you have! Yes, this system is loud! I can hear it really well at freeway speed. Any 12v battery will power this amp, it just depends on the amp/hour rating as to how long before you have to charge it back up. Google "amp/hour rating" and you'll find a wikipedia article or something that will allow you to figure how long you can run the amp.

This amp will bang for the bucks but it only has 5-30A fuses so multiply that by 12 and the most you will get at 1ohms is 1800.... My two 12" mofo pound but are under powered so I'm thinking about getting another one because each sub I have is 1700 rms so I wire them each at 1ohm per amp and get 3400 rms
